Not A Good Start For 2015 Topps Tribute Baseball

I
have had a busy past couple of weeks, fortunately I have had a number of posts
pre-written so I was able to keep up on the blog but I have had my mind on so
many thing I have barely been able to keep up with reading blogs let alone
hobby news and I almost missed one of the biggest blunders with Topps release
of 2015 Topps Tribute.

When
autographs come out of a high end product, $250-300/box, scratched, smudged,
bubbling and streaked collectors have a reason to be angry. I think what has
added fuel to the fire is Topps lack of response, finally making a statement
this morning in the form of ”We are
aware of the issues with 2015 Topps Tribute Baseball. A statement is
forthcoming.” On their Twitter and Facebook page with a follow up about an hour
ago saying ” There will likely be an
announcement tomorrow”

There have been a couple of suggestions as to why
collectors think that the problem happened ranging from the ink/pens used to
the type of coating on the card. I don’t know if the reason for the problem
will be announced but I am wondering how Topps plans on righting the situation.

About Me

I started collecting as a kid but by the time I hit my teens my interests were elsewhere. I returned to the hobby in 1992, just in time to see the junk wax era go in to full swing. My collecting interests have changed over the past 25 years and I prefer to focus on just a couple of players.

My collection is very specific now because I want to keep it controlled and organized, I now focus mainly on my Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner collections.
